LeBron James is coming off a 39-point game against the Grizzlies as the Lakers seek to improve their 4-4 record. With Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura sidelined last game, James shouldered extra responsibilities. He’s currently averaging 24.0 points, 7.5 assists and 6.9 rebounds over eight games.
As the Lakers host an injured 76ers team, James’ role remains pivotal in their first home game after a tough five-game road trip.
Here are the best prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for LeBron James heading into Friday’s game:
Best LeBron James Prop Bets
Points 23.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): James’ points line is set at 23.5 with balanced odds. After scoring 39 points in his last outing, the over appeals to those expecting another high-volume scoring night. The under could offer value if the Lakers get production from their supporting cast, allowing James to distribute more.
Rebounds 6.5 (Over -130 / Under +100): The rebounds line for James is 6.5, with the over favored at -130. Averaging 6.9 boards this season, James could surpass this line if he’s focused on cleaning up the glass in Davis’ absence. With +100 odds, the under is a reasonable option for those banking on underachievement.
Assists 7.5 (Over -142 / Under +110): James’ assists line is set at 7.5, with the over favored. Given his average of 7.5 assists this season, the over is appealing, especially if he takes on a larger playmaking role with Davis out. The under provides some value if he emphasizes scoring more than facilitating.
Threes 1.5 (Over -182 / Under +140): James has been consistent from beyond the arc this season, making the over on 1.5 threes an appealing choice, albeit with shorter odds. The under at +140 could be interesting for those seeking to take a risk on an off night.
Points + Rebounds + Assists 38.5 (Over -115 / Under -115): With a combined line 38.5, this option covers James’ contributions across the board. His season averages total 38.4, making both the over and under viable plays. The margin for error is thin on this bet either way, which is why either outcome has equal odds, but it’s worth consideration.
Double-Double (+115) and Triple-Double (+1000): Listed at +115 for a double-double and +1000 for a triple-double, James offers options for bettors expecting a big performance across multiple categories. The double-double is a more attainable bet given his recent performance, while the long odds on a triple-double provide a high-reward option.
